Accordion Treats

• heavy-duty aluminum foil (2 1-yard sheets)
• 3/4 cup margarine or 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if desired

1. Heat oven to 325u0b0F.
2. Fold 1 sheet of foil in half lengthwise. Fold double-thickness foil crosswise into 1-inch pleats to make an "accordion-pleated" pan. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with second sheet of foil.
3. In large bowl, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour and salt; mix well. Stir in walnuts. Drop 1 rounded teaspoon of dough into each fold of foil (dough spreads during baking to form 4 1/2 to 5 inch-long cookies.).
4. Bake at 325u0b0F for 18 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cookies from foil; cool completely. Turn foil over for second baking.
5. TIPS: If desired, baked cookies can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or frosted with a powdered sugar glaze.
6. VARIATIONS: Substitute one of the following for the walnuts or vanilla. Replace walnuts with 1 teaspoons cardamom, caraway seed, anise seed, or grated orange or lemon peel. Replace vanilla with 1/2 teaspoons rum flavor or almond, orange or lemon extract.
